In Sincerity and Truth

"Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth ; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 "If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Joshua 24:14-15 (NASB)

I love these verses. They are so appropriate for this culture which is steeped in ancestor worship and reliance on traditional doctors, but they also apply to more western cultures as well. We should all put aside those things that we "worship" above God and be like Joshua. May we take a stand and serve the Lord in sincerity and truth.
